I have enjoyed taking the in-person intermediate Hindi classes in the Delhi office, as well as now taking online classes which are very professional and enjoyable, and I receive homework that gets marked for each class. Highly recommend.

I’ve enjoyed every class with Ali and the Zabaan school. From knowing no written Hindi and very limited spoken Hindi, I’ve been able to give speeches in Hindi and read and write it. Ali’s teaching method has also enabled me to convert my Hindi learning into reading and writing Urdu. It’s been a fun three years of study.

I absolutely love learning Hindi with Zabaan and my fabulous tutor, Riya. I have spent an hour online with her each week for over a year now and in this time I have learned the Devanagari script, I am able to read quite well, I have moved through the grammar and vocab of the text books and we are now having little conversations each week. I love the one on one lessons as I get to ask heaps of questions and we move at a pace personalised to my progress. I highly recommend learning a language with Zabaan. I look forward to class every week!

Vartika Pande is a very good and experienced language teacher. She comes prepared with a plan for every ZOOM lesson. Vartika is friendly but not casual - always the teacher and keeps you focused and working for the duration of each lesson. A serious pro. I highly recommend her. Zabaan school is easy to deal with and has been very helpful and flexible in terms of scheduling. Prices seem reasonable to me. A +
